Recovering & Rebuilding: The Journey Back to BJJ Training

In this episode of the Grapple Asia Podcast, Sparky, returns to discuss his incredible journey back to Jiujitsu after a severe accident two years ago.

They discuss the physical and emotional challenges of recovery, the importance of mental health, and the impact of training on mental well-being.

Sparky also shares insights on their business ventures, including the revival of MMAWarehouse.com, and provides a candid discussion on the essential aspects of running a successful martial arts gym, maintaining proper gym etiquette, and the critical issue of not exploiting student-coach relationships.
